Intelligence officials are concerned that Chinese intelligence services or others could use the sensitive information, which can include medical histories and other personal details, to blackmail or otherwise recruit spies in the U.S. government and to design carefully tailored emails to infect computers of federal workers with access to secret files.
Or the higher quality -- the faster computers, for example -- enhance the productivity of workers who use computers, and thus the national income.
The results provide a basis for using the 41-item MUEQ-Br revised for the assessment of computer-office workers' perceptions of the psychosocial and ergonomic aspects of CANS and musculoskeletal-complaint characterization.
To provide a crude example, let's say we've two groups of workers, computer programmers and burger flippers.
Firstly, all participants came from a selected group of computer workers in Denmark that may not be representative of all computer users.
Concurrently with this tendency, there has been a pronounced increase in the number of computer-related muscular complaints especially in the neck/shoulders [ 5], and it has been reported that more than 50% of workers using computer at least 15 hours per week develop muscular skeletal symptoms in the upper extremities within their first work year [ 6].
In the present sample of 264 subjects of computer office workers, we assessed the 12-months prevalence of CANS among a Dutch cohort of computer workers and tested a newly developed comprehensive questionnaire (MUEQ) that included various scales, which are hypothetically related to an increased risk for CANS.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of CANS in a Dutch population of computer workers and to develop a questionnaire aimed at measuring workplace physical and psychosocial risk factors for the presence of these complaints.
The computer revolution, however, displaced millions of workers from clerical and production occupations, forcing them to compete in lower-paying jobs in the retail, fast-food and home health sectors.
Meanwhile, coding bootcamps like Trilogy Education Services, which partners with top universities to help adults get jobs in computer science, are funneling thousands of workers through intense, six-month programs.
